Investee Company Update: TRU Precious Metals

 

TRU Provides Update on Flagship Golden Rose Project

 

Ormonde Mining plc (https://ormondemining.com/) (AQSE: ORM), the natural
resources company with investment exposure to outstanding gold and battery
metal exploration assets in Newfoundland and Scotland, notes an announcement
on 22 October 2024 by its 36.3%-owned investee company, TRU Precious Metals
Corp. (TSXV: TRU, OTCQB: TRUIF) ("TRU"), which is exploring for gold and
copper in the highly prospective Central Newfoundland Gold Belt in Canada.

 

TRU has announced that as a result of the financial backing of Eldorado Gold
Corporation ("Eldorado") which was granted an exclusive option to earn an 80%
ownership interest in Golden Rose in August 2024, TRU has been afforded the
ability to undertake a detailed review of the potential at Golden Rose. As
such, TRU has commenced a project wide analysis to understand and update the
discovery potential at Golden Rose, with existing project data being
reassessed and verified, before being infilled and updated as required. The
work is being initially focused on the north-east "exploration fairway"
between the Mark's Pond zone and the Rich House zone. Initial targeting in
this area is expected to be completed by early 2025 with drilling planned to
commence immediately thereafter.

 

Brendan McMorrow, Chief Executive Officer of Ormonde, commented:

 

"The financial backing of Eldorado has enabled the TRU team to adopt a more
strategic approach and optimise the discovery process at Golden Rose. An
updated model of mineralisation across the entire property will support TRU in
unlocking the value of Golden Rose in a targeted and cost-effective manner."

TRU Appoints Provides Update on Flagship Golden Rose Project

Toronto, Ontario - October 22, 2024 - TRU Precious Metals Corp. (TSXV:TRU,
OTCQB:TRUIF, FSE:706) ("TRU" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update
on its flagship Golden Rose Project ("Golden Rose"). In August 2024, the
Company completed the granting of an exclusive option (the "Option") to
Eldorado Gold Corporation ("Eldorado") to earn an 80% ownership interest in
Golden Rose, strategically located along the gold deposit-bearing Cape Ray -
Valentine Lake Shear Zone in Central Newfoundland (see news releases dated
July 30, 2024 and August 22, 2024).

The financial backing of Eldorado, via the Option, is affording TRU the
ability to undertake a detailed review of the potential of Golden Rose. The
claims that comprise Golden Rose were consolidated over several years, and TRU
is now conducting a project wide exercise to understand and update the
discovery potential for gold and other minerals across the 300 sq. km project
area. The review will methodically apply geoscience and exploration practices
across the entire property package.

TRU CEO Steve Nicol commented: "TRU is shifting to a "big picture" perspective
of Golden Rose viewing the complete consolidated land parcels and claims as
one entity to facilitate the development of an updated model of mineralization
potential for the entire property, aimed at optimising the discovery process.
TRU is focused on efficiently discovering the full gold and copper potential
that may exist at Golden Rose."

The objective of the initial step in this methodical process, designed in
conjunction with Eldorado, is to extract the maximum information and knowledge
from existing project data which will be reassessed and verified, then
infilled and updated or improved where required. This work, which has already
commenced, includes infill and geochemical sampling, reinterpretation of
magnetic survey data, prospecting, re-mapping, and re-examination of drill
core.

The wealth of information generated from this process will feed into
preparation of a revised and refined geological and structural site-wide
model, which will be utilized to generate a pipeline of quality drill targets
across the property for prioritization and drilling.

While it is expected that this rigorous and methodical assessment will result
in the identification of multiple targets across the property, it is initially
being focused on the northeast-trending 'exploration fairway' between the
Mark's Pond zone and the Rich House zone (7.5km long x up to 2kms wide; Figure
1). Initial targeting in this area is expected to be completed by early 2025
with drilling planned to commence immediately thereafter.

In parallel, and as previously announced, (see news release July 16, 2024),
the Company has been running a copper and critical minerals focused
exploration program across Golden Rose. Results from this program will be
reported when work is complete, and all assay results have been received.

The scientific and technical information disclosed in this news release has
been prepared and approved by Joel Cranford, P.Geo., Project Geologist for
TRU, and a Qualified Person as defined in NI 43-101.
